Easy Tips To Get Rid of Freckles

Freckles, in simple words, are brown patches of pigmentation that occur on one’s skin, especially with those who have a fair skin. The problem with fair skin is that these freckles become even more evident on the face, and can spoil the appearance of an otherwise beautiful and healthy skin.

Why And How Do Freckles Occur?

Freckles start appearing on one’s face when the skin faces extreme exposure to the sun and sunrays, and starts producing melanin. Harmful UV rays of the sun affect sensitive skin sooner than normal skin, and that is one of the reasons why freckles develop really quickly on some people’s faces.

How Can One Get Rid Of Them?

Well, the first step towards getting rid of freckles is to of course, prevent them from happening in the first place. It’s best to get into the habit of applying sunscreen every time one is stepping out of the house. Apart from that, there’s no harm in wearing a hat or carrying an umbrella to protect the skin from damage.

Skin experts suggest that one of the most effective home remedies to get rid of freckles is to apply sour milk on the affected areas, with the help of a cotton bud. It basically has lactic acid content, which peels off the freckled skin, and helps in regeneration of the cells for new skin to develop.

Bleaching is also a good way of getting rid of freckles. However, one needs to be slightly careful while choosing over-the-counter bleaching creams, as a lot of them are high on chemicals, and may not suit all types of skin. It’s best to take an expert’s opinion on which bleaching cream to go in for.

Lemon has natural bleaching and exfoliating abilities. One can directly rub a lemon peel on the affected areas to see visible lightening of freckles.

For those with dry skin, lemon juice can be mixed in honey, and applied on the face for 15 minutes. That will ensure that the bleaching happens, without causing any further dryness.

Diet Patterns

Skin experts say that nothing can go wrong with one’s skin, if the person is careful about what he/she is eating. To get rid of freckles, it is advisable to include a lot of fruits in one’s diet, especially citrus fruits, which are rich in Vitamin C. For that matter, fresh fruits and vegetables are good to have in one’s diet on a regular basis too, and not just when one is suffering from the problem of freckles.

Keeping The Skin Healthy

Considering the amount of damage that one’s skin faces today, with pollution, exposure to sun, change in weather etc., it is important to have a good skin care regime. One needs to indulge in regular cleaning, toning and moisturizing to help the skin cells regenerate and keep the skin healthy at all times.

Apart from that, regular application of natural fruit and vegetable masks, consisting of cucumber, strawberries, papayas, apricots, melon etc. is good to nourish the skin from time to time.
